They act locally on inflammation and immunity as adjuvant homeostatic modulators during tissue regeneration. In recent years, many methods for achieving these blood concentrates have emerged, whose parameters of time and force of centrifugation presented themselves as critical, conflicting, and poorly understood points. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of different centrifugal experimental parameters on the concentration of cells and platelets in samples of anticoagulated blood. Blood samples were centrifuged by forces of 200, 400 and 800 x g for 5, 10 and 15 minutes of centrifugation times to obtain three fractions: a) platelet-poor plasma (PPP), b) leukocyte-rich plasma (L- PRP) and c) red blood cell sed¬iment (RBC). The leukocyte and platelet content of each centrifuged fraction was measured by automated flow cytometry associated with the peroxi...

As margarinas foram agrupadas pelo tipo de óleos utilizados em sua produção e o percentual médio de lipídios em GH-T (margarinas hidrogenadas com 50% de lipídios), GH-L (hidrogenadas com 20%), GI-T (interesterificadas com 65%) e GI-L (interesterificadas com 30%). O perfil de AG foi obtido por cromatografia gasosa em coluna capilar SP2560®. O conteúdo de AG trans (AGT) no GH-T (7,91 ± 1,05 g.100 g-1) foi significativamente maior (p < 0,05) que no GH-L (2,46 ± 0,39 g.100 g-1), GI-T (1,29 ± 0,47 g.100 g-1) e GI-L (0,65 ± 0,24 g.100 g-1). Houve diferença significativa no conteúdo total de AG saturados (AGS) e insaturados (AGI) entre os grupos GH-T e GI-T, sendo maior no GI-T, seguido de GH-T e sem diferença significativa entre GH-L e GI-L. Porém, as razões entre ΣAGP/ ΣAGS das margarinas não variou entr...

A prospective, descriptive pilot study was conducted between May 2012 and December 2013 through the dermatology outpatient unit in a Brazilian hospital to evaluate the clinical benefits of using Calendula officinalis hydroglycolic extract in the treatment of DFUs. Patients diagnosed with a stable neuropathic ulcer of >3 months' duration; ranging in size from 0.5-40 cm(2); without osteomyelitis, gangrene, bone exposure, cancer, or deep tissue infection; ages 18-90 years; with adequate glycemic control and no history of an allergy to C. officinalis were enrolled. Patients provided demographic and diabetes-related information and were evaluated biweekly for 30 weeks or until healing (ie, full epithelialization with no wound drainage). DFUs were measured and clinically examined for microbiological flora and presence of odor, tissue type (eg, granulation, fibrin sloth, necrosis), exudate, and retract...

Métodos: estudo observacional de coorte realizado com quarenta e um pacientes com diagnóstico de úlcera por pressão com tamanho da ferida estável por mais de três meses. Os pacientes foram avaliados quinzenalmente durante 30 semanas, em relação a redução da área da lesão, controle de infecção, tipos de tecido e exsudato e microbiologia das úlceras. Resultados: a proporção de pacientes que cicatrizaram completamente após 15 e 30 semanas de tratamento foi 63% e 88%, respectivamente, sendo que a média de tempo de cicatrização foi de 12,5 ± 7,8 semanas. Não foram observados eventos adversos durante o tratamento. Conclusão: os resultados do estudo indicam que Plenusdermax® de bioativos de C. officinalis é um tratamento seguro que promove a cicatrização de úlceras de pressão.

Glucocorticoids spread throughout the organism their influences over key enzymatic steps of the arachidonic acid biochemical pathways, leading, in the central nervous system, to a shift favoring the synthesis of anti-inflammatory endocannabinoids over proinflammatory metabolites, such as prostaglandins. This shift modifies local immune-inflammatory response and neuronal activity to ultimately coordinate cognitive, behavioral, neuroendocrine, neuroimmune, physiological, and metabolic adjustments to basal and stress conditions. In the hypothalamus, a reciprocal feedback between glucocorticoids and arachidonate-containing molecules provides a mechanism for homeostatic control. This neurochemical switch is susceptible to fine-tuning by neuropeptides, cytokines, and hormones, such as leptin and interleukin-1beta, assuring functional integration between energy homeostasis control and the immune/stress response.

Methods: 104 patients with the diagnosis of IS and 98 healthy controls had blood homocysteine, vitamin E, selenium, copper, ceruloplasmin and ferritin analyzed. Homocysteine and vitamin E were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, selenium by inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry, copper by colorimetry, ceruloplasmin by nefelometry and ferritin by enzyme linked fl uorescent assay. Statistics was performed with Student's t test and analysis of variance. Results: Frequency of hyperhomo- cysteinaemia was 43% for patients and 13% for controls. Concentrations of vitamin E, copper, ceruloplasmin and ferritin were signifi cantly higher in patients. Differences in selenium levels were not statistically signifi cant. Discussion: Hyperhomocysteinaemia levels were higher than those found in literature...

MÉTODO: Estudo transversal analítico de 104 pacientes diagnosticados com AVCI e 98 controles. Dosagem de homocisteína por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência. Análise estatística feita com testes t de Student e Kruskal-Wallis, análise de variância, análise de regressão linear, regressão logística e coeficiente de correlação linear de Pearson. RESULTADOS: O grupo-pacientes apresentou valores maiores de homocisteína (15,4 ± 11,7 µ mol L-1) comparados aos controles (10,5 ± 4,2µ mol L-1). Dividindo os dois grupos em faixas etárias foram encontradas diferenças nas faixas de 40-49 anos e 50-59 anos. Nos pacientes encontraram-se valores maiores de homocisteína nos casos de hipertensão e etiologia aterotrombótica. Estudo de regressão logística dos ...

Microsomes were prepared from the livers of rainbow trout and incubated with 14C-labelled 18:3n-3 and cofactors required for elongation and/or desaturation in the presence of 22:6n-3, 24:5n-3 or 24:6n-3. The formation of 24:6n-3 was significantly inhibited in the presence of 50 microM 22:6n-3, 24:5n-3 or 24:6n-3, whereas the amount of radiolabelled 20:5n-3 formed was inhibited by only 24:5n-3 or 24:6n-3 at the same concentration. When malonyl-CoA was omitted from the incubation system to allow the measurement of desaturation in the absence of elongation, the Delta6 desaturation of 14C-18:3n-3 to 14C-18:4n-3 was inhibited by approximately 25% in the presence of 24:5n-3 or 24:6n-3 but was not affected by 22:6n-3. The Delta5 desaturation of 14C-20:4n-3 was not affected by the presence of any of the long chain PUF...
